I think the whole NRL market is overpaying alot of players. If a player like Levi is on $375k then Douiehi would probably get $450-$500k somewhere.

It would be an ideal use of our $350k from Foran as the money has to be used on a player who can play in the halves and he can, which other half is available at around $350k. I can see the money going unused tbh.

Once signed he could play anywhere across 1-6 but I think there's zero chance of us signing him.

400k for the best winger in the game to play for the Dogs? Like anyone would accept that lol.
If we offered $400k to Fox, no chance in hell we’d stump up $500k for Doulhei, even with the cap relief etc

The dogs will not sign anyone unless they are passionate about playing for the dogs over and above premierships and coin...which means if we don’t sign a player within a few days, we ain’t signing them.

Dogs aren’t signing anyone yet need to wait and see what’s going to happen in the season coming

The club is way too passive and keeps sitting back waiting for things to happen. Worst case scenario for them though is they have to sack Pay and find a replacement for him while offering a the new coach a fair bit of cap to work with.

If that's seriously the way the club is thinking we aren't signing anyone other than fringe first graders. An an example which decent player will sign for $400k with the dogs if they can get $600k elsewhere and a better chance of a premiership. Time in the game is limited, it's not a 30 year career.

This lot need to get their shit sorted, it isn't the 80s. Players are professionals and will play for whoever pays them and provides an attractive environment.

We're probably going to offer Elliott more than 400k lol.

I don't think they're dumb enough to only offer Fox 400k. Wasn't he on that much at Melbourne? He wouldn't leave them mid contract to sign for us for a similar amount...

He is off to the storm. It's a done deal Doueihi for Addo-Carr
Always felt that was going to happen, well Addo-Carr anyway. Him and Mitchell want to be together and are they now both under the same management.

Hopefully it's not right.

From what some people in the know have alluded to during conversation, Pay and price who are on the recruitment and retention team and are playing HARD ball with negotiations i.e. JAC, Adam D, and Thompson . I simply can't understand Pays motif considering his own contract expires this year. The in-house politics between the football club and the league's club is costing us high end recruits. I've also been told that the league's club will cut there grant to the football club by approximately a million. No sponsor. No recruits. No membership drive. Unless coach Pay and co are confident that we have the cattle to play hard ball, and that we will certainly make the eight or better then there will be Interesting times ahead. Let's see how it all pans out.

Yeah somethings got to give when we signed DWZ Pay mentioned he wanted another 3-4 players like him and something else (don’t quote me) was we need to boost our squad as much as we can... that comment was obviously with reference to having such a young team. So current recruitment doesn’t make sense.. granted funds are limited for 2020 but not 2021 and beyond... got to fork out for a top player sooner or later..

I honestly hope something gives as player talent pool slowly diminishing.

Hopefully they both decide to go "walkabout" midseason.
Chillin' in the Dreamtime.
That would shove it up Rusty, Crusty and Richo!
